"Just kill it alreadyyy don't make him sufferrr" I had the same thought at that moment hahah. That wolf did a pretty good job though (and was lucky that the cars were going slow enough to not get in the way), it was interesting to watch. Thanks for posting!

I couldn't tell if any killing blow was delivered. It seemed as if the wolf just knocked the sheep to the ground (and it was certainly still breathing when it fell), but I guess the wolf would have killed it by eating it while it was alive.

Yeah it really looks like that's what went down, since you can still see it breathing a bit as it's being dragged away.

Probably had a heart attack after a long and distressing chase.

Wow, I can't imagine seeing this irl I mean it would be a little sad (and probably shocking) to see, but it would be pretty incredible to witness a wolf making a successful kill! It's rare enough just to glimpse them in the wild.
I have to admit my heart jumped a little when it ran in front of the car, I was worried both the animals would be hit.

That's really cool, I would consider myself lucky to be able to witness a wolf hunt firsthand. It's difficult enough for professionals to film full chases.
